In a tragic turn of events, the evening of Thursday brought news from the Intendencia of San José that the man who lost his life in a drowning incident earlier that afternoon at El Rivero beach in Punta del Diablo was none other than Julio Teijeiro, the Director General of Development for the commune. This shocking revelation has sent ripples through the community, as Teijeiro was not only a significant figure in local governance but also a family man who was enjoying his vacation with loved ones when the unthinkable happened.
The circumstances surrounding the incident are particularly poignant, as the 60-year-old Teijeiro entered the water during a time when lifeguards were not on duty, highlighting the importance of vigilance and safety protocols in public recreational areas. Despite the valiant efforts of bystanders and personnel from the Sub Prefectura del Chuy, who rushed to his aid and attempted to revive him, their endeavors were unfortunately unsuccessful.
The scene unfolded with a sense of urgency, as Teijeiro was quickly pulled from the water and given emergency care on the spot. However, the severity of the situation necessitated immediate medical attention, leading to his rapid transportation via police vehicle to the Hospital de Castillos. It was there, under the care of medical professionals, that the heartbreaking confirmation of his passing was made.
As the news of Teijeiro’s death spread, the Intendencia of San José extended its condolences, noting that he was on vacation with his family at the time of the incident. In a gesture of respect and support, the Intendencia has announced plans to release details regarding the wake and funeral arrangements for Teijeiro, ensuring that the community can come together to pay their respects to a man who dedicated his service to the commune. This solemn announcement serves as a reminder of the human side of public service and the power of community in times of grief.
